Witness Statement

From: Jean Smith

Incident: Wallaby theft, Kirkcudbright Wildlife Park

Mrs Smith was walking her dog near to the Wildlife Park. She saw a man tampering with the fence near to where the Wallaby is kept. ‘I got a look at him as he turned towards me. I don’t think he saw me, as he continued to tamper with the fence,’ she said. ‘The fence at the park is probably over two metres tall, but I don’t think he was as tall as the fence, maybe he was just less than that.’

The only clue found at the scene was a print from

a training shoe. From its size, we estimate the

shoe to be smaller than size 6.

In addition, the CCTV picture at the Park did record a man moving around the fence and entering the Wallaby enclosure. The only information this provided was the colour of his hair – white / blonde. The camera angle meant the intruder could be seen only from behind.
